The objective of this study is to assess the normative macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in healthy children with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and study its correlations with age, intraocular pressure, axial length, corneal thickness, cup-to-disc ratio, and spherical equivalent.
This study recruited 89 healthy children. Macular ChT was measured in five locations, subfoveal, 1500 μm and 3000 μm nasal, and temporal to the fovea via the Optopol REVO80® SD-OCT.
The mean age was 11.17 years. The mean subfoveal ChT was 332.33 ± 73.07 μm, ChT 1500 μm nasal to the fovea; 281.19 ± 66.67 μm, ChT 1500 μm temporal to the fovea; 293.25 ± 71.11 μm, ChT 3000 μm nasal to the fovea; 219.55 ± 67.4 μm, ChT 3000 μm temporal to the fovea; 264.31 ± 70.8 μm. A correlation of subfoveal ChT was not observed with the variables.
This study illustrates the normative pediatric macular ChT profile.
本研究旨在通过谱域光相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)评估健康儿童的正常黄斑脉络膜厚度(ChT),并研究其与年龄、眼内压、眼轴长度、角膜厚度、杯盘比和等效球镜的相关性。
本研究纳入了 89 名健康儿童。通过 Optopol REVO80® SD-OCT 在黄斑区五个位置(中心凹下、距中心凹鼻侧 1500μm 和颞侧 1500μm 以及距中心凹鼻侧 3000μm 和颞侧 3000μm)测量黄斑 ChT。
平均年龄为 11.17 岁。平均中心凹下 ChT 为 332.33±73.07μm,距中心凹鼻侧 1500μm 的 ChT 为 281.19±66.67μm,距中心凹颞侧 1500μm 的 ChT 为 293.25±71.11μm,距中心凹鼻侧 3000μm 的 ChT 为 219.55±67.4μm,距中心凹颞侧 3000μm 的 ChT 为 264.31±70.8μm。中心凹下 ChT 与各变量之间未观察到相关性。
本研究描绘了正常儿童黄斑区 ChT 图谱。
